Champion Short Hand Writer.
 MT. A. 5. White, the well. known author of Whites Photography" famous as the Champion Shorthand Writer of the World, received the first prizes in the in- ternationnl contests at London, Edinburgh, Paris and Berlin; he came near being per- manently disabled by rheumatism. His recovery by the use of a remedy infallible in ncuring rheumatism and all blood diseases is told in letter from his office, 02 Waah- ington st., Chicago, dated June 20, 1887. He writes:
 "Your remedy has done wonderful ser- vice for me. For the past five years I have been troubled with rheumatic pains. "My right hand had become almost use- less and was gradually losing speed as shorthand writer. A friend of mine, Dr. Dederich, advised me of your remedy. I used dozen bottles of s. s. and am now entirely recovered. I shall never cease to commend your excellent medicines, and wish you much success.
 Yours truly, A. s. WHITE"
 And here is another witness:
 "BENToN, Ark, August, 25th, 1887. "Last spring was dangerously afflicted with erysipclas, and my life was despaired of by my physicians. As last hope tried s. s. S. and soon found relief, and in two eeks was able to attend to my business. I used five bottles.

Or How The Connecticut Western
 News gives its Subscribers Value
 Received for their Money.
 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News itself worth the subscription price. They furthermore know that we cannot directly club The News with other papers and periodicals without robbing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to it, and which is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Eglestions subscription agency The News is clubbed with every desira- ble periodical published, for it will readily be seen that it is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one sub- scription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers. Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals. Mir Egleston's advertisement appears in anothers column Send for his subscrib- er's guide.
